And why. We're able to reinvest in our community 9 00:00:56,61 --> 00:01:01,28 after the fair is done so I don't even know if you guys know that. Stepping said 10 00:01:02,23 --> 00:01:08,27 we're going to talk first to doctor because. Future of dentistry is very new to the 11 00:01:08,28 --> 00:01:12,44 worker. You just moved this year is that correct but a year and 12 00:01:12,45 --> 00:01:17,96 a half. Anyway so they don't want to go right. Sorry. 13 00:01:19,39 --> 00:01:25,07 But this is the location you have right correct we have three others or four in 14 00:01:25,08 --> 00:01:31,98 total Ok so there Draycott Drake it. Will be real yes you know Wakefield and 15 00:01:31,99 --> 00:01:36,39 what handover and nothing so you really have come to kind of get the whole footage 16 00:01:36,40 --> 00:01:41,02 there how can I right and I'm going to ask this question don't answer the same way 17 00:01:41,22 --> 00:01:43,05 why did you come to work at once this is 18 00:01:43,06 --> 00:01:47,66 a joke that we have between us. I think it's you know it's 19 00:01:47,67 --> 00:01:53,97 a great community. We had a lot of our staff or you know I mean quite 20 00:01:53,98 --> 00:01:59,97 a bit of our staff from the workers OK so it made sense to come here and. 21 00:02:01,07 --> 00:02:05,32 I mean we've been you know very very fortunate to you know be here it's 22 00:02:05,33 --> 00:02:11,18 a great community. And now we want to give back well they came for you know I think 23 00:02:11,19 --> 00:02:11,31 it's 24 00:02:11,32 --> 00:02:16,25 a great community thank you I have to say that you probably are not on the Facebook 25 00:02:16,26 --> 00:02:22,63 page or some of the you know of some of the worker sites but one of the common 26 00:02:22,64 --> 00:02:26,71 questions is where do I go for a dentist I have a child this age or I have 27 00:02:26,72 --> 00:02:31,06 a you know I have this problem my husband has this problem or something and they're 28 00:02:31,07 --> 00:02:33,91 always asking for who the who's the Duchess they should go to because they don't 29 00:02:33,92 --> 00:02:38,31 know some of them their dentist may have retired or they may have moved out of town 30 00:02:38,32 --> 00:02:43,41 and they tried they prefer staying local rather than driving twenty twenty miles to 31 00:02:43,42 --> 00:02:46,03 get to somewhere so tell us 32 00:02:46,04 --> 00:02:50,66 a little bit about what makes the future of Dutch street different than some of the 33 00:02:50,67 --> 00:02:57,54 other just that they may consider. OK I think for us it's pretty 34 00:02:57,55 --> 00:03:04,39 simple it starts with you know people. And we invest in people you know as 35 00:03:04,40 --> 00:03:11,24 a model in ours we invest in people not ideas and so for us we. We seek 36 00:03:11,25 --> 00:03:17,18 out hire and train the best possible candidates for the given position. With the 37 00:03:17,19 --> 00:03:22,11 motto it allows us to meet and exceed patient expectations each and every visit. 38 00:03:24,33 --> 00:03:30,13 Our goal is to provide the best customer service the best patient experience and 39 00:03:30,14 --> 00:03:36,27 the best clinical skill set you know possible. You know mediocre is not an option 40 00:03:36,28 --> 00:03:42,77 in our office. And so the short answer is is our people our staff. 41 00:03:44,00 --> 00:03:47,84 So let me let me answer something in there it was looking at your website and I 42 00:03:47,85 --> 00:03:54,81 noticed in there it says week. If I can read this we treat your mouth with 43 00:03:54,82 --> 00:03:58,31 your body in mind because that that was the impression I got from reading from 44 00:03:58,32 --> 00:04:04,39 a guy at the Web site what does that mean so that's the second area of focus is the 45 00:04:04,56 --> 00:04:10,47 on on research and technology. Where. 46 00:04:11,53 --> 00:04:16,46 One of the few dentist offices that I know that are routinely doing blood and 47 00:04:16,47 --> 00:04:21,60 saliva testing in the dental office so what that means is were to only testing for 48 00:04:21,61 --> 00:04:26,99 inflammatory markers whether it be diabetes OK cholesterol you know saliva testing 49 00:04:27,00 --> 00:04:31,50 to the note OK specific types of bacteria that are causing the infection. All the 50 00:04:31,51 --> 00:04:38,31 tests do is allow us to really zero in and focus on the specific you know the Z's 51 00:04:38,32 --> 00:04:44,11 entity that's happening so our treatment is customized to the person rather than 52 00:04:44,19 --> 00:04:47,80 a general kind of shotgun approach to trying to treating 53 00:04:47,81 --> 00:04:54,04 a disease Yeah you know process. Along with that allows us to focus and what you 54 00:04:54,05 --> 00:05:00,91 were alluding to is that oral and systemic connection. So that when we do see oral 55 00:05:00,92 --> 00:05:04,68 manifestations of possible systemic you know types of conditions you know we were 56 00:05:04,69 --> 00:05:08,12 able something like that which would be something like you know cardiovascular 57 00:05:08,13 --> 00:05:11,83 disease you know strokes you know certain types of cancers such as colon Well you 58 00:05:11,84 --> 00:05:15,95 know prostate cancer it's been linked to all timers it's been linked to dementia. 59 00:05:16,99 --> 00:05:21,72 And so all those markers you know you know really tell us is really just an oral 60 00:05:21,73 --> 00:05:26,01 manifestation of something else happening and when we see that then we make the 61 00:05:26,02 --> 00:05:30,10 appropriate for all to the medical colleagues there was less and less yes and they 62 00:05:30,11 --> 00:05:34,40 do follow up testing you know based on what we have initially screen door you know 63 00:05:34,41 --> 00:05:40,96 perhaps just kind of fall farther. And so that is not 64 00:05:40,97 --> 00:05:46,35 done as much as it should be I don't actually think I ever thought of anybody doing 65 00:05:46,36 --> 00:05:51,10 that but it certainly makes sense it certainly does make sense and for us that's 66 00:05:51,11 --> 00:05:56,56 that's really you know the cornerstone of our philosophy and because we you know 67 00:05:56,57 --> 00:06:01,31 statistically speaking you know patients will often see the dentist more often than 68 00:06:01,32 --> 00:06:01,66 they will see 69 00:06:01,67 --> 00:06:06,90 a physician so we are the first line sometimes of trying to detect something that 70 00:06:06,91 --> 00:06:13,59 could be on the line and. And again we always go back to our people and what's most 71 00:06:13,60 --> 00:06:18,92 important is our patients and what is in their best interest at all times and 72 00:06:18,93 --> 00:06:19,23 making 73 00:06:19,24 --> 00:06:23,98 a difference in their life because if you can identify are not necessarily telephone 74 00:06:23,99 --> 00:06:26,22 you can you can pick up on something that could be 75 00:06:26,23 --> 00:06:30,57 a problem correct and then refer to someone who can then take it further and check 76 00:06:30,58 --> 00:06:35,61 out to see where that is that actually plays out and maybe catch something in an 77 00:06:35,62 --> 00:06:39,56 early stage who knows exactly that's that's huge that could be really huge in 78 00:06:39,57 --> 00:06:43,62 somebodies life just so you have 79 00:06:43,73 --> 00:06:50,54 a staff Oh I have other dentists obviously. And. Do you 80 00:06:50,55 --> 00:06:54,80 encourage them to take part in our participate in the community on the unity of 81 00:06:55,23 --> 00:07:02,14 actually that's. As the owner and and and founder if you will of our of our little 82 00:07:02,15 --> 00:07:07,41 organization you know I take great pride in seeking out as I said before the people 83 00:07:07,50 --> 00:07:14,38 which. That that is also comes down to our you know so she talks. So that not 84 00:07:14,39 --> 00:07:18,84 only are you seeking out the best in terms of you know clinical care but also the 85 00:07:18,85 --> 00:07:25,76 best in values and for us you know giving back is part of our of who we are. And 86 00:07:25,77 --> 00:07:30,56 so we invest heavily in the communities that we're in whether it be through you 87 00:07:30,57 --> 00:07:37,32 know volunteer work or through you know the schools. Through events we do 88 00:07:37,51 --> 00:07:41,78 you know free cancer screening tests at the local schools or that's OK And we also 89 00:07:41,79 --> 00:07:46,38 do you know free you know dentistry for those that can't afford it will often do 90 00:07:46,42 --> 00:07:47,03 you know a few days 91 00:07:47,04 --> 00:07:50,57 a year in the office where we have you know patients you know come in and they're 92 00:07:50,58 --> 00:07:56,83 treated at no charge. Again that's the legacy I hope the future of dentistry 93 00:07:56,84 --> 00:08:03,74 carries. And giving back you know spirit and I like to see that in every person 94 00:08:03,75 --> 00:08:07,48 that's employed by us if they lack that it may not be 95 00:08:07,49 --> 00:08:12,43 a fit and that's as simple as that just like so is that how you started out because 96 00:08:12,44 --> 00:08:16,57 you said you told me You actually started your business in Wakefield Yes and then 97 00:08:16,58 --> 00:08:20,56 grew into the other locations is that how you started your practice from the 98 00:08:20,57 --> 00:08:25,82 beginning interesting you know what made you want to give backs that it's not I 99 00:08:25,83 --> 00:08:30,86 mean some people give back just because you know kind of play this way and I guess 100 00:08:30,87 --> 00:08:33,42 you know in the beginning it's hard to give back as you get 101 00:08:33,43 --> 00:08:38,92 a little older. You know you start to reflect on the why and why things are 102 00:08:38,93 --> 00:08:44,98 important why you are here. For me it's you know the expansion through the four 103 00:08:44,99 --> 00:08:51,11 offices didn't happen until twenty five years after you know how and so it's not 104 00:08:51,12 --> 00:08:56,69 a question of you know ego or you know you know you know growing you know right any 105 00:08:56,70 --> 00:09:02,35 sort of speak it's it's more about how can we impact more people make an impact. 106 00:09:03,51 --> 00:09:10,38 On more people. And they seem to be you know the. You know the way to do it right I 107 00:09:10,39 --> 00:09:14,99 know this one is we're good dentist and I still believe it's the woman just just. 108 00:09:16,39 --> 00:09:18,07 She had gone to 109 00:09:18,11 --> 00:09:23,88 a foreign country. To practice dentistry over there and I think it was 110 00:09:23,89 --> 00:09:29,90 a country that was. Yes I generated Yes I did wonders you know. 111 00:09:31,44 --> 00:09:38,19 So which was that something that she decided to do want to wrong you're OK and that 112 00:09:38,20 --> 00:09:42,32 was that was you know that work well for her because that that was part of the 113 00:09:42,33 --> 00:09:46,57 hiring process as well to see that OK OK So it's you already done that before she 114 00:09:46,58 --> 00:09:50,97 came to work for you OK So you have one more sense oh she has OK So is this 115 00:09:50,98 --> 00:09:54,03 something she does every year or and say goes for 116 00:09:54,04 --> 00:09:55,83 a month or she goes for go and we are away for 117 00:09:55,84 --> 00:09:59,73 a week or two week OK And it's again it's you know underdeveloped you know 118 00:09:59,74 --> 00:10:03,88 countries united and it's providing free dentistry you know when you're there that 119 00:10:03,89 --> 00:10:07,68 is incredible I find that it will be fascinating only because I'm 120 00:10:07,69 --> 00:10:12,45 a member why is clubs and we do you know I screenings and things and we have people 121 00:10:12,50 --> 00:10:17,37 whether they be lions themselves or doctors or affiliated they will go to far 122 00:10:17,47 --> 00:10:21,96 countries or third world countries to provide that care that they don't normally 123 00:10:21,97 --> 00:10:25,52 cannot normally get in Canada for free would that be 124 00:10:25,53 --> 00:10:28,57 a great collaboration if we could collaborate and you could you guys get to the 125 00:10:28,58 --> 00:10:32,41 dentist part and we could do the act and still see even on T.V. 126 00:10:32,42 --> 00:10:38,37 We can do this. Do you say yes let's do what did you hear him say that. 127 00:10:39,55 --> 00:10:45,31 I almost didn't pick up on that how did I do that. Would you ever go to work 128 00:10:45,41 --> 00:10:47,80 a third world country just actually if you have 129 00:10:47,81 --> 00:10:52,07 a thought about which one you might go to this is my seventieth Yeah and even ask 130 00:10:52,12 --> 00:10:57,38 no it's really just about serving so you know the country for me is not 131 00:10:57,39 --> 00:11:03,99 a support OK All right so. Does she have to pay her own way in 132 00:11:04,00 --> 00:11:08,29 sponsoring the stuff herself is interesting she has to be some sort of 133 00:11:08,30 --> 00:11:13,89 a dental group we can put up with so she can get some help with that. So tell me 134 00:11:13,90 --> 00:11:18,10 why did you and why did future dentistry want to be 135 00:11:18,11 --> 00:11:22,77 a sponsor of the show because this is their first sponsor it is I think we wanted 136 00:11:22,78 --> 00:11:27,08 to make ourselves known in the community OK so the local businesses and the. And 137 00:11:27,09 --> 00:11:31,67 they could and you know and you know see the people of of the record get to know us 138 00:11:31,68 --> 00:11:38,67 a little bit. And I think. You know once once you you know step 139 00:11:38,68 --> 00:11:45,66 into our office there's really no return but I feel. We can we've kept to do yes 140 00:11:46,56 --> 00:11:49,08 and so I think it's just 141 00:11:49,09 --> 00:11:54,77 a matter of. You know I mean getting our word out there because we you know we do 142 00:11:54,81 --> 00:12:01,36 as I said I mean part of our culture is is giving back. And so it's just it's just 143 00:12:01,37 --> 00:12:04,49 natural to be you know to do what we can I think is I think it's 144 00:12:04,58 --> 00:12:07,36 a huge that you are 145 00:12:07,72 --> 00:12:12,13 a teaching in some respects the younger people the importance of dentistry back by 146 00:12:12,14 --> 00:12:18,49 providing some of the some.

A premature nursing home placement 165 00:13:50,67 --> 00:13:56,48 so where is where the program that pulls out all the stops.

Premature 169 00:14:16,84 --> 00:14:22,13 placement so what does that mean for some so often time some individuals and some 170 00:14:22,14 --> 00:14:28,48 of this depends on the caregivers and the families involved with taking care of the 171 00:14:28,49 --> 00:14:33,84 loved one and their strength and their commitment to keep them out of the nursing 172 00:14:33,85 --> 00:14:36,41 home for as long as possible and that's 173 00:14:36,42 --> 00:14:41,55 a very noble idea and we all want to be able to do that for our loved ones but 174 00:14:41,56 --> 00:14:47,39 often times the toll that it takes on caregivers is substantial and it can really 175 00:14:47,40 --> 00:14:53,63 break someone down but we provide all of the support including bringing both 176 00:14:53,64 --> 00:14:59,88 primary care and social supports in physical therapy and occupational therapy right 177 00:14:59,89 --> 00:15:06,53 to the home if the individual can't come to our location so you know it 178 00:15:06,54 --> 00:15:12,56 is funded by Medicare and Mass Health and we are 179 00:15:12,57 --> 00:15:18,95 a nonprofit and we are our responsibility and commitment with that funding is to 180 00:15:18,96 --> 00:15:25,59 pool all of those streams of revenue into one pool so that we can then distribute 181 00:15:25,60 --> 00:15:31,98 services and care according to individual needs versus just you know duplicating 182 00:15:32,46 --> 00:15:38,24 services that don't really matter to people so someone went to your location in so 183 00:15:38,72 --> 00:15:43,93 what services would they get there well the services that are at actually the 184 00:15:43,97 --> 00:15:49,06 building itself is like a hub for all of the medical care is also 185 00:15:49,07 --> 00:15:55,84 a rehabilitation suite of wow physical therapy and occupational therapy and it's 186 00:15:55,85 --> 00:15:58,83 not just the exercise bars that are typical in 187 00:15:58,84 --> 00:16:05,00 a rehabilitation setting we actually have an entire suite where in their adjoining 188 00:16:05,01 --> 00:16:07,85 to the rehabilitation center where we get 189 00:16:07,86 --> 00:16:13,61 a chance to really see how the the actual exercises in terms of strengthening 190 00:16:13,62 --> 00:16:19,50 muscles and care. How that plays out in actually an apartment setting we have an 191 00:16:19,51 --> 00:16:26,19 entire apartment set up. With ost refrigerators 192 00:16:27,08 --> 00:16:32,53 bathrooms with safety devices and things like that so you know it's 193 00:16:32,54 --> 00:16:38,88 a very innovative program in and of itself but I think element here has been on the 194 00:16:39,27 --> 00:16:45,87 cutting edge of bringing Newt new services into the program in our primary care we 195 00:16:45,88 --> 00:16:51,27 have board certified geriatricians OK And that's you know when I explain to people 196 00:16:51,28 --> 00:16:57,48 the difference from you know a primary care or an internist caring for 197 00:16:57,49 --> 00:17:03,99 a loved one that has many chronic issues to deal with. A geriatric 198 00:17:04,00 --> 00:17:10,22 perspective really takes into account functionality in the home setting as well as 199 00:17:10,45 --> 00:17:17,11 mobility and safety versus just the episode or the disease itself so we have 200 00:17:17,12 --> 00:17:22,00 a whole team of people that need daily. And they talk about each one of our 201 00:17:22,01 --> 00:17:27,88 participants no two people have the same individual care plan they could have 202 00:17:27,89 --> 00:17:33,84 similar disease issues or health issues but the way that we go about in approach 203 00:17:33,85 --> 00:17:38,90 their care is always very unique so we also have behavioral health right in our 204 00:17:38,91 --> 00:17:45,09 center we have board certified behavioral health specialists both counselors 205 00:17:45,43 --> 00:17:49,64 and clinical nurse practitioners and it's 206 00:17:49,65 --> 00:17:54,22 a nice situation where you have primary care and behavioral health linked together 207 00:17:54,90 --> 00:17:59,01 and you don't have to go to the community although that's good it's not always 208 00:17:59,25 --> 00:18:05,68 effective for older people to have to bounce from one doctor to. The behavioral 209 00:18:05,69 --> 00:18:07,20 health team really provides 210 00:18:07,21 --> 00:18:12,50 a lot of education for the primary care team and they're able to deal with some of 211 00:18:12,51 --> 00:18:18,67 the behavioral health issues that come from. High anxiety related to dementia are 212 00:18:18,68 --> 00:18:21,74 also going to answer that because I'm sure that comes into play here because of the 213 00:18:21,81 --> 00:18:25,66 their rights group exactly they're right there and they provide 214 00:18:25,67 --> 00:18:29,84 a lot of education and support for the caregiver to deal with some of these 215 00:18:29,97 --> 00:18:32,30 behavioral issues that sometimes becomes 216 00:18:32,31 --> 00:18:38,83 a part of the progression of dementia so tell me because that's all part of 217 00:18:38,97 --> 00:18:45,05 the medical pieces. Do you guys do things out in the community as well yes we do 218 00:18:45,09 --> 00:18:48,75 care what is that because so that to me is an important piece because it's nice to 219 00:18:48,76 --> 00:18:52,56 be in an office in or. Provide services of 220 00:18:52,57 --> 00:18:58,13 a very much needed but it's also important to get out into the community. So we do 221 00:18:58,14 --> 00:19:04,82 serve fifty one communities Oh my goodness so we have eight locations OK bottle 222 00:19:04,83 --> 00:19:11,13 Levon hundred we call them participants versus members OK And each one of those 223 00:19:11,14 --> 00:19:16,68 locations responds and addresses the needs of the communities you know really 224 00:19:16,69 --> 00:19:23,53 around their locations typically speaking where sharing expertise we love to 225 00:19:23,83 --> 00:19:30,25 have our geriatricians go out and either educate the general public. Oh 226 00:19:30,80 --> 00:19:35,20 chronic illness and how how that needs to be addressed in 227 00:19:35,21 --> 00:19:37,98 a very holistic fashion there was this in 228 00:19:37,99 --> 00:19:42,12 a disease specific fashion when you say general public does that mean that people 229 00:19:42,13 --> 00:19:46,10 at that age level or people that are in their family members of the family you both 230 00:19:46,19 --> 00:19:52,52 very Yeah that's really important we really educate discharge 231 00:19:52,53 --> 00:19:59,32 planners at hospitals. Were very involved with multiple senior networks were 232 00:19:59,33 --> 00:20:06,28 not an island we can't do it all we have to do it with partners so we're constantly 233 00:20:06,29 --> 00:20:11,93 working with the networks but as far as the individual communities I'm involved 234 00:20:11,97 --> 00:20:18,53 with Joan with the dementia friendly area I'm also involved with healthy aging and 235 00:20:18,72 --> 00:20:20,09 in reading OK has 236 00:20:20,10 --> 00:20:24,54 a task force down there that are trying to help to bring more services to really 237 00:20:24,55 --> 00:20:29,74 North Reading but we have our meetings in reading so they always consider those two 238 00:20:29,78 --> 00:20:34,89 communities almost together absolutely So each of us in are involved in multiple 239 00:20:34,90 --> 00:20:40,49 community efforts mostly that have to do with bringing expertise sir health 240 00:20:40,50 --> 00:20:47,25 information or services I I just wrote an endorsement letter for the town of 241 00:20:47,26 --> 00:20:51,44 North writing so that they could apply for Healthy Aging Massachusetts Healthy 242 00:20:51,45 --> 00:20:57,85 Aging communities so I mean we do more or less about hands on but more about in the 243 00:20:57,86 --> 00:20:59,41 background we do donate 244 00:20:59,42 --> 00:21:04,36 a lot of money but as you can imagine you have to spread it pretty thin course when 245 00:21:04,37 --> 00:21:04,66 you've got 246 00:21:04,67 --> 00:21:11,99 a slim budget and your own communities I want. To say is local I say Yeah so 247 00:21:12,03 --> 00:21:17,55 I mean you know rather than support these are not worthy causes the little league 248 00:21:17,56 --> 00:21:22,04 teams and right and whatever we're really supporting efforts to help people's 249 00:21:22,05 --> 00:21:25,88 health will bring in blood pressure will bring our nurses out to do blood pressure 250 00:21:25,89 --> 00:21:31,50 clinics will help the senior centers and so those of us. Riot of ways because when 251 00:21:31,51 --> 00:21:35,34 you can't we don't have all the money you want and we have to be 252 00:21:35,35 --> 00:21:39,95 a little creative. So here's a here's a question if you have 253 00:21:39,96 --> 00:21:45,20 a considered in this they're relieved to partner with the just for well it's funny 254 00:21:45,21 --> 00:21:51,99 how dad is going to return to partner with Jan to say welcome. So we do have our 255 00:21:52,00 --> 00:21:56,76 own board certified Harvard trained dentist that goes on each of our eight 256 00:21:56,82 --> 00:22:03,47 locations that being said is not everyone wants to do that they may be 257 00:22:03,48 --> 00:22:04,62 attached to 258 00:22:04,81 --> 00:22:10,25 a dentist that they've always gone to. Also when you have people that have to 259 00:22:10,26 --> 00:22:13,96 mention are all timers you know that in itself is 260 00:22:13,97 --> 00:22:19,38 a very difficult situation and if they've become comfortable with their community 261 00:22:19,96 --> 00:22:26,69 dentist we do not interfere with that what we do is supported by used by providing 262 00:22:26,70 --> 00:22:32,95 the transportation. And the whatever support we need to to find out because if the 263 00:22:32,96 --> 00:22:37,95 dentist is giving them medicine and prescriptions the prescriptions all come 264 00:22:37,96 --> 00:22:43,53 through our organization so we have to pay for them so therefore where it's all 265 00:22:43,54 --> 00:22:48,14 part of our central district and our central and Rollie records so you know the 266 00:22:48,15 --> 00:22:54,00 biggest problem with older adults that have multiple illnesses is they're taking 267 00:22:54,01 --> 00:22:58,20 medications from over five or six precious I can remember being in 268 00:22:58,21 --> 00:23:00,24 a group that I you know did a kind of 269 00:23:00,25 --> 00:23:04,76 a blind test where I said how many medications do you take and some were taking 270 00:23:04,77 --> 00:23:10,32 fifteen and twenty minute cautions and when you start doing that you know it not 271 00:23:10,33 --> 00:23:16,78 only causes confusion and perhaps protests dizziness they become fall risks 272 00:23:17,48 --> 00:23:22,72 so because we control the dollars spent people don't have to go out to the drug 273 00:23:22,73 --> 00:23:28,92 store we deliver to their homes so back to the dentist we always partner with 274 00:23:28,93 --> 00:23:31,59 dentists in the community well he has 275 00:23:31,60 --> 00:23:34,93 a dentist I just I don't know why now they have 276 00:23:34,94 --> 00:23:39,56 a.
